Benefits of choosing Intel RealSense technology

Intel RealSense technology supports a wide range of operating systems and programming languages. The Intel RealSense SDK enables you to extract depth data from the camera and use the interpretation of this data in the platform of your choice, including Intel and ARM processors. Developer tools are available in Windows OS, Linux, Mac OS, and more. The kit also offers sample code, debug tools, and evaluation tools to accelerate your project.

Simple integration of depth perception

The Intel RealSense Depth Module D400 Series provides a turnkey solution for rapid product development and integration for VR, robotics, and any market where depth matters. A variety of models offers a choice of module that has the best combination of power consumption, field of view, and shutter type to optimize depth vision integration. This tailored depth module can easily enhance vision products with spatial sensing.

Smart devices become even smarter

The Intel RealSense Vision Processor D4 Series already does the heavy lifting. It processes the raw image data and provides calibrated 3D depth maps without requiring any GPU or CPU resources. Using this vision processor makes it easy to rapidly design custom solutions. By freeing up bandwidth from the host processor, it leaves more CPU time for the vision processing or alternatively reduces performance requirements of the host system.

The STEMMER IMAGING advantage

Intel RealSense is supported through the Intel community forums, however when purchased through STEMMER IMAGING, you gain the unique option to purchase premium expertise in RealSense and 3D applications support to accelerate your integration and get access to advanced integration information not available through the community.

STEMMER IMAGING's unique expertise gives you access to the following:

In-depth knowledge of the Intel RealSense SDK including expertise in using RealSense with ARM processors and Linux in embedded applications.

GenTL RealSense driver support as an addon package for CVB including pointcloud visualisation, which provides connectivity to all GenTL-compliant image processing SDK’s (such as CVB, Halcon or Matlab).

Models

The D415 camera features a rolling shutter stereo camera pair, standard projector and a full HD RGB camera and is ideal for stationary and slow moving applications.

Depth field of view (H/V/D in degrees) 69.5/42.5/77

Standard IR projector

Rolling shutter depth sensors

Minimum working distance of 0.3m

The D435 camera features a global shutter stereo camera pair, wide projector and full HD RGB camera and is more suitable for applications where there is significant movement in the scene.

Depth field of view (H/V/D in degrees) 91.2/65.5/100.6

Wide IR projector

Global shutter depth sensors

Minimum working distance of 0.2m

Features available with all models

Working distance in excess of 10 metres

USB 3.0 connection with power over USB

Indoor & outdoor operating ability

Active IR and passive stereo processing via D4 ASIC

2% Z accuracy at 3 – 5 m range

Low light performance with < 1 lux minimum sensitivity

Dual 1280 x 720 sensors for up to 90 fps depth stream

1920 x 1080 rolling shutter RGB camera with up to 60 fps

0 to 35 °C operating temperature

RealSense product options

Choose between board level module configurations for higher volume applications and housed camera modules. D400 series depth modules for custom high volume embedded applications are available with either a rolling or global shutter with Full HD resolution. All modules consist of a stereo camera pair with optional pattern projector and optional HD colour camera. Developers can omit the projector and RGB HD camera to reduce costs where the application does not require these features. For evaluation, development and lower volume applications, the two aluminium housed D400 cameras are ideal.
